Hi everybody! I hope you are having a great week so far. I am popping in to share this colorful card using the Hero Arts Abstract Honeycomb Bold Prints stamp and some other bumble bee related products today. This background stamp is my favorite new background stamp from the January release. I love the quirky combination of hexagons and hearts. I decided to ink it up in a rainbow of color because, let's face it, color makes me happy.
I put the stamp inside of my Misti and stamped repeatedly using different ink colors. Between colors I cleaned off my stamp. After inking the stamp up (but before stamping) I used a clean towel to dab gently at the edge of the ink on the stamp. This removed a small amount of ink and ensured that I had smooth transitions between my colors. After stamping, I used a white gel pen to add some detail to the hexagons and hearts. Then, I used clear Nuvo drops to fill in all of the solid hexagons. This gave the hexagons dimension and a glossy, smooth finish.
I heat embossed my sentiment from the Bee and Flowers Wreath stamp set in white embossing powder onto black cardstock. I cut my sentiment out using one of the hexagons from the Hexagon Infinity Dies set. These infinity dies are new and are so awesome! I'm sure you will be seeing me use these a lot in the future.
My chubby bee is from the January 2021 My Monthly Hero kit. This kit is sold out so if you don't have this bee stamp you can substitute the bee from the Bee and Flowers Wreath stamp set instead. I added my background to a black card base. Then, I used foam adhesive to pop my sentiment and bee up on the front of my card. Some yellow and black enamel dots were the perfect touch for finishing off this card. FYI: Just in case you didn't know, these enamel dots are stickers so no glue is required. This makes them super easy to use without making a glue mess.
Oh! I almost forgot one detail. I used a cool gray copic marker to color in some of the outlined hexagons just to add a little something more to my background. I added a lot of "extra" to this background but it's honestly not necessary. It's such a beautiful stamp that it makes for a gorgeous background without doing anything extra to it.
Ok, you guys! That is it for today. I hope you liked today's card. If you have any questions please let me know in the comments below.
Have an awesome day!
